Josiah Johnston, Cathy Wolkow (2011) CIL:1607, Caenorhabditis elegans. CIL. Dataset

The purpose of the dataset C. elegans terminal bulb aging is to deduce the age of the nemathode based on images of the pharynx terminal bulb (part of the eating apparatus). Images of C. elegans were taken at different chronological ages. This image is part of the day 0 data set. Note that the morphological and chronological ages are not fully correlated due to the variability among individuals even though the individuals are genetically identical. The source for the dataset is Laboratory of Genetics/NIA/NIH.

本数据集C. elegans终末神经节老化之旨在依据咽部终末神经节（摄食器官之一部分）的图像，推断线虫的年龄。C. elegans的图像在不同的时间点拍摄。此图像属于第0天数据集。需要注意的是，尽管个体在遗传上具有同一性，但由于个体间的差异，形态学年龄和实际年龄并不完全一致。数据集的来源为遗传学实验室/国家老年病研究所/美国国家卫生研究院。
